One way to test drive being a manager: read the Ask A Manager column (https://www.askamanager.org/) for a few days or browse the archives. Read the question submitted by the reader, consider how you would deal that problem, then compare your response with Alison's (and the commentors below.)

Yes, most the problems are not technology or software problems. Some are downright silly. But that's largely true of software development, too.
